SUMMARY:Civic Media Insights: Rachel Kuo\, “Movement Media: Racial Solidarities Across Platforms”
DESCRIPTION:Looking at processes behind media-making and information sharing\, this talk demonstrates ways that racial justice movements create and sustain connections across incommensurable and uneven racial differences. As a collective site for political work\, movement media make up a broad array of internal and external information produced and circulated by and within social movements for organizing purposes–from meeting agendas and text threads to social media posts and public statement letters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Rachel Kuo brings archival materials from women of color organizing in the 1970s alongside interviews with present-day organizers to trace tenuous pursuits of solidarity and address the possibilities and challenges in building movements for the long-haul in today’s digital landscape. \n\n\n\nDr. Rachel Kuo studies race\, technology\, and social movements. She is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for Information\, Technology\, and Public Life and School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill; a founding member and current affiliate of the Center for Critical Race and Digital Studies; and co-founder of the Asian American Feminist Collective.

SUMMARY:Beyza Boyacioglu and Jeff Soyk\, “Zeki Müren Hotline - Mobile Experience”
DESCRIPTION:Zeki Müren Hotline started as a simple hotline in 2015\, collecting everyday people’s messages to Zeki Müren — Turkey’s most beloved and equally controversial pop star. An homage to the intimacy Müren established with his fans and a throwback to the 1990’s hotline phenomenon\, this participatory project quickly became a sensation in Turkey. During the few months it was active\, the hotline received hundreds of messages\, often expressing nostalgia for the deceased icon and Turkey’s bygone days. The Zeki Müren Hotline mobile experience is an interactive web app* that presents a selection from those messages alongside vignettes from Müren’s life and legacy. \n\n\n\n*Please come prepared with a charged mobile device (phone or tablet) and headphones. \n\n\n\n\nBeyza Boyacioglu (Director) is a filmmaker and editor from Istanbul. Her work has been exhibited at MoMA Doc Fortnight\, IDFA\, RIDM\, Morelia International Film Festival\, !f Istanbul\, Barbican Centre and many other venues and festivals.

Her editing credits include In Search of Bengali Harlem by Vivek Bald and Black Lives Matter: A Global Reckoning: Italy by Vice News. She holds an MSc in Comparative Media Studies from MIT and a BA in Visual Arts from Sabanci University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeff Soyk (Director) is an award-winning media artist with experience in creative direction\, UX design\, UI design\, HTML5/CSS3/JS\, and film/video.
